Cabin Air Fliter DIY

[-Ray-]

Just an FYI, I posted on one of the other threads - O'Reilly Auto Parts has cabin air filters by MGD - MicroGard - #3753 $9.99 ! You may have to order it, not always kept in stock. Best price I've seen anywhere, and it fit perfectly. The counter guy couldn't believe it when he looked up the WIX
filter for over $60.00! After all, it's only a cabin air filter, why the hell are they soooooooo expensive everywhere else?

Because the rest of them aren't made in China?

Sorry there G8 Ray, but I'll buy American any day over foreign, but tell me why it should cost over 6 times as much to buy a paper
filter made here? That's just plain wrong! Oh, by the way, where was your G8 made?

pha|anx,

This happened to me too with the Wix and the new OEM Holden filters. They were too tall to fit.

Are you sure any of those paper filters were made here? The filters I shipped came to me from Australia. My hope is they were made there. They are the genuine article. BTW, my G8 looks like a Holden Special Edition.
Stanley makes hammers. Stanley has a factory in China. Stanley sells the hammers as prices that they were made in the US. Now that is bull shit.

I think you misunderstood my post.

The Holden filters are made in Germany. You can even see it on the box in CP's photo:

TRUCE!

I agree, it is bull shit.
It's just a shame the way some company's will rip people off.
Based on what I've been reading here, there seems to be a fitment problem with several of
the filter brands?

There is some filters that seem to big just a little larger than the original.

I'm still not sure what replacement to get that'll fit... THAT is bullshit.
